So something like a prostatectomy the prostate is small, and it's in one spot, and you can set your robot up very precisely to work in that one spot.

And since this was introduced in 1999, a lot of these robots have been out and being used for surgical procedures like a prostatectomy, which is a prostate deep in the pelvis, and it requires fine dissection and delicate manipulation to be able to get a good surgical outcome.

In the setting of prostate cancer, up to 60 percent of men after prostate cancer surgery may have urinary incontinence and erectile disfunction.

And in fact if you, or anyone you know, had their prostate taken out in the last couple of years, chances are it was done with one of these systems.

So the first two applications are breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Screening for prostate cancer, too, requires a blood test the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test. Elevated PSA levels would suggest the presence of prostate cancer, even if no physical abnormalities were detected, so a tissue biopsy would be conducted.

Does this virus cause prostate cancer?

It is absolutely archaic that we call cancer by prostate, by breast, by muscle.

And we have better than surgery results in breasts.

It's used to test for prostate cancer, but there are all sorts of reasons why your prostate might be enlarged.

It's used to test for prostate cancer, but there are all sorts of reasons why your prostate might be enlarged.

Prostate cancer. I don't need to give you many statistics about prostate cancer. Most of you already know it third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.

In 1998, screening for the prostate specific antigen began.

The last one I'll show you is a PSA test.

The last one I'll show you is a PSA test.

For maybe about 10 percent of prostate cancer, there are folks that are predisposed to it.

We took 90 men who had biopsy proven prostate cancer and who had elected, for reasons unrelated to the study, not to have surgery.

Lung cancer is the leading form of cancer followed by breast cancer, skin cancer, stomach cancer and prostate cancer.

All proceeds go to Prostate Cancer UK.

One had to do with a friend of mine who had a breast cancer, had a small breast cancer detected had her lumpectomy in the town in which I lived.

You then have some body part descriptions It's in the liver, in the breast, in the prostate.

When we looked at their PSA levels which is a marker for prostate cancer they got worse in the control group, but they actually got better in the experimental group, and these differences were highly significant.

But you know what, these little nerves are so small, in the context of prostate cancer, that they are actually never seen.

We heard here yesterday Quyen talking about the adverse event trait in prostate cancer.

Men aged 20 to 60 genito urinary, sexually transmitted and prostate diseases.

So, if it s true for prostate cancer, it ll almost certainly be true for breast cancer as well.

This is the guy who started the project in my lab, and this is the guy who's been doing prostate stuff.

There is a unique opportunity now with focused ultrasound guided by MR, because we can actually think about prostate lumpectomy treating just the focal lesion and not removing the whole gland, and by that, avoiding all the issues with potency and incontinence.

But screening s benefits are not as straightforward as supporters claim. To be sure, at risk men for example, those with a family history of prostate cancer, African Americans, or men with enlarged prostates who are treated with 5 alpha reductase inhibitors (whose failure to lower PSA levels could reflect increased risk of developing prostate cancer) may want to consider getting tested.

It also helps reduce the risk of the most common cancers like breast, prostate and colon cancer.

So this patient is in their 50s, so we can actually give them a very precise estimate of what their risk for prostate cancer is.

As evidence tilts the balance away from widespread PSA testing, a new screening test or biomarker is urgently needed that can distinguish effectively between potentially life threatening prostate cancers and less dangerous forms. Likewise, less risky treatments are crucial.

We had the pause points immediately before anesthesia is given, immediately before the knife hits the skin, immediately before the patient leaves the room.

Going into the first surgery for a recurrence of salivary cancer in 2006, I expected to be out of the hospital in time to return to my movie review show, 'Ebert and Roeper at the Movies.' I had pre taped enough shows to get me through six weeks of surgery and recuperation.

Because the average age at diagnosis is 71 73, men are likely to die from other causes before prostate cancer claims their life. And there is no credible evidence that low grade prostate cancer uniformly progresses to higher grade cancers, so early treatment is not essential.

Did the cells spread to the lungs before the surgery?

So, we're sitting around and thinking, Why would men who have the mutation a defect in an antiviral defense system get prostate cancer?

And the prospect I'm offering you, of an easier surgery ...

This is a surgery so rare only two human beings have survived it before me.

Another, conducted in the US, showed no evidence that PSA screening improved prostate cancer survival rates. In addition, a recent study comparing outcomes for patients whose prostate gland was surgically removed to those for patients who underwent only observation found no differences in survival rates between the two groups.

I checked thoroughly prior to the surgery, and decided on the oneoff operation after the results.

So this patient is in their 50s, so we can actually give them a very precise estimate of what their risk for prostate cancer is.

And the first gene that was mapped in association studies for this, early onset prostate cancer, was this gene called RNASEL.

Five weeks ago I had total hip replacement surgery.

Zaizen, you weren't being professional enough in the operation.
